After thinking for a long time, Wang Xiaolie said: "I met Zhang Yong when he was in Kaifeng Mansion. He is very brave and has many soldiers and horses. Of course, he is not easy to talk to. He has never fought with us, so it is difficult to say that he is good at it. They won't attack us. Send someone to meet him in Queshan and show him courtesy first. Then send a thousand soldiers and horses to Tangzhou to make him retreat."
After saying that, he looked at Shao Ling and Niu Gao. After thinking for a long time, he said: "Did Commander Shao meet Zhang Yong when he was in Kaifeng Mansion, or you led the troops to Tangzhou. There are 800 people there now, plus your 1,000 people, they should be able to stop Zhang Yong. "
Shao Ling crossed his hands and said yes. One thousand eight hundred soldiers and horses guarding a city should be enough as long as there is no shortage of supplies.
Wang Xiaolie said: "There are many strong people in the Tongbai Mountain area. As soon as Zhang Yong came, everyone responded, and it will be difficult to have a peaceful life. This time, I will try my best to let these people know that they will stay as far away from us as possible in the future. ! Otherwise, how can we recuperate and recuperate with a small battle in three days and a big battle in five days! Most of these thieves are a mob, and it will be difficult to train troops against them!"
Order Shao Ling and Niu Gao to go out. Wang Xiaolie sat down alone in the handsome tent, thinking about recent events.
Du Chong was far inferior to Zongze, and Wang Xiaolie certainly knew about this. And in the general impression, this person dug the Yellow River, lost Kaifeng Mansion, and finally surrendered to the Jin people. It can be said that Du Chong was culpable in the troubled times that followed in the next few years. But to Wang Xiaolie at this time, this person was not important.
Xiangyang and Dengzhou were the site of the Four War, so it was destined that there would be no peace.
What should I do if I want to develop with peace of mind? Wang Xiaolie stood up and sighed helplessly. There is only one way to prevent others from facing it.
In Tongbai Mountain, Liu Man quickly entered the village hall. He shouted to Yang Tiansong: "Brother, let me tell you good news! Zhang Yong in the capital was jealous of Du Chong and led his troops south! At this time, he occupied Queshan County and was invincible everywhere. People called him 'Zhang Mangdang'!" "
Yang Tiansong stood up. He said: "Brother, Wang Zhuan is a big shot in the capital. What's the benefit of coming to us? This small village will definitely not be in his eyes. Even if we go there, we won't be as happy as we are now."
Liu Mandao: "Brother, what time is it now? The surrounding states and counties have been beaten to pieces by the Jin soldiers. The emperor only cares about escaping for his life. There is no master in the world! As long as you have a heroic spirit, you can occupy the land and become the king! What is good in the mountains? It doesn't matter what you want! No To tell you the truth, in my eyes, Xinyang Zhijun is like nothing! In the past, I was afraid that if we occupied Xinyang, the surrounding officers and soldiers would attack, and it would be in vain. Now I am not afraid anymore! When Zhang observes, the officers and soldiers will We all have too much time to take care of ourselves, who will take care of us!"
After hearing this, Yang Tiansong couldn't help but slap his thigh: "Brother is right! I forgot about it! If you occupy Xinyang, even if you only live happily for a year or two, it is a blessing that you have cultivated in the previous life! Needless to say, we will mobilize the troops and destroy the It’s Xinyang!”
The two brothers became more and more excited as they talked and ordered their subordinates to prepare wine. Drinking and discussing in the village hall.
Queshan Zhang used the military camp, and one person led two men to the camp gate. The soldiers came up to stop him, and the man said: "I'm Xu Yang, a subordinate of the king of Ruzhou, Zhizhou. On the orders of Zhizhou Jun, I came to see Zhang for observation."
Wang Xiaolie defeated Yang Jin several times in a row, and finally annihilated him by the Han River. By this time, the news had spread throughout the Central Plains. Yang Jin, like Zhang Yong, was originally controlled by Zong Ze. In the eyes of these people, Wang Xiaolie was no longer what he was when he was in Kaifeng Mansion, but looked like a fierce god. In response to Xu Yang's words, the soldiers did not dare to neglect and hurried in to report.
Not long after, Zhang Yong personally came out of the camp gate, took Xu Yang's hand, and welcomed him into the county government office.
After the guests and the host were seated, Zhang Yong said: "I also met Wang Kuan when we were in Kaifeng Mansion. He is really a young hero, everyone praises him! Moreover, Wang Kuan is kind to others, and I received a lot of favors from him at that time. Alas, I haven't seen you for several months. I really miss him. Be careful! I wonder if it’s okay to observe now?”
Xu Yang crossed his hands and said: "Two or three months ago, Yang Jin rebelled against the imperial court and caused chaos in Ruluo. The governor led a large army and defeated Yang Jin at the foot of Minggao Mountain. This man escaped with his life and fled all the way to Xiangyang. . That's all. Zhizhou didn't want to take care of him. Who knew that Yang Jin was a thief by nature. He burned, killed, and looted along the way, and forced good people to join the army. Lushan County was ruined by him. There was no other way, so Zhizhou led a large army. We pursued him all the way to the Han River. The thief had no way to escape and was killed in Fancheng Town on the north bank. There were no officials in several states, so the magistrate had to temporarily go to Xiangyang Prefecture."
Zhang Yong said: "Yang Jin only relies on his own brute strength. I don't know how powerful Wang Kuan is. He is really seeking death! By the way, I don't know if Wang Kuan has sent you here. What can I tell you?"
Xu Yang said: "Since the Jin army ravaged the Central Plains last year, there have been no officials to manage Tangzhou. The magistrate sent troops to temporarily occupy the place. After hearing and observing, he left Kaifeng Mansion and arrived in Queshan County, not far from Tangzhou. I should have come to see him in person. , I’m just busy with official duties, so I have no choice but to send him down.”
Zhang Yong waved his hands repeatedly: "At this time, at that time, what identity are you observing now? Send someone here, I will feel the hospitality!"
After hearing this, Xu Yang felt relieved. Xu Yang had dealt with Zhang Yong before when he was in Kaifeng Mansion, so Wang Xiaolie sent him here this time. If Zhang Yong is informed and interested, Wang Xiaolie must also ensure that he is well-intentioned and both parties will be fine. If Zhang Yong relied on his strong soldiers and horses and Wang Xiaolie didn't take him seriously, then he would have to fight. Xu Yang, who was sent here, was in danger now.
After drinking tea, Xu Yang said: "Wen Wang came from Kaifeng Mansion, and I guess there is not enough food and grass. The Zhizhou sent fifty bolts of silk, so I can go buy some food and grass. Things are difficult now, so I don't want to have too little."
Zhang Yong was overjoyed after hearing this: "It's rare that Wang Zhuan remembered me and gave me many good things! If I have the opportunity in the future, I will thank you again!"
After saying that, he ordered his men to collect the silk brought by Xu Yang. Said: "Originally I wanted to go west, seize Tangzhou and go to Dengzhou. Since Wang Kuan has already occupied those places, it will be difficult to go. Go back and tell Wang Kuan that I will rest in Queshan for a few days and then leave. From Xincai, take Guangzhou and go to Huainan Road. The world is big enough, why do our own brothers have to crowd together!"
Xu Yang hurriedly handed over his hand: "Thank you for the observation! Zhizhou will be happy if he knows!"
Zhang Yongben wanted to keep Xu Yang for a few days, but how could Xu Yang agree? After lunch, we hurried back to Tangzhou.
As soon as he entered the state government office, he could see that the atmosphere inside was tense. Seeing Xu Yang, Zhang Jun asked anxiously: "How?"
Xu Yang said: "Zhang Yong was still very polite to Zhizhou. He promised me not to come to Tangzhou. Instead, he wanted to go east, take Xincai to Guangzhou, and then go to Huainan Road. When we were in Kaifeng Mansion, we were still small players. Zhang They won't look at us seriously. I guess it's because we wiped out Yang Jin a few days ago, and these people are a little scared."
"It's best to be afraid!" Zhang Jun gave him a high five. "The day before yesterday, Yang Tiansong and Liu Man from Tongbai Mountain suddenly raised their troops and defeated the Xinyang Army. The Zhijun Zhao Shihui was killed and the two men occupied the city. The Zhizhou sent an order this morning. If Zhang Yong does not leave Queshan, Attack Tangzhou and order us to raise troops to attack the Xinyang Army and take the life of that thief Yang Tiansong!"
After saying that, he looked at Shao Ling on the side eagerly.
Shao Ling said: "Wait two days for Zhang Yong to leave Queshan, and then we will send troops. According to my estimation, Yang Tiansong and Liu Man attacked the Xinyang Army because they thought Zhang Yong was enough to contain us. With Zhang Yong gone, they are not worth mentioning. !”
Zhang Jun nodded hard.
